Soon when I can be arsed to sit down and study whose best for me Bulb will be know more. Changed over to Bulb myself after my brother put me on to them, found them great, but as you say they have hiked their prices up lately so i'm looking to move myself.

Meece 1,957 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 It's just like car insurance. Every year they hiķe it up so don't make a target of yourself. Keep on the move. We were with Seeboard for ever then they changed to EDF. Prices went through the roof so we jumped and moved to Bristol Electric. No probs to speak to them about. They send an e-mail to read meter. I submit reading online. They e-mail me Bill. I pay Bill online. But I'm not being complacent. Our deal runs out in a few months so I've already started to look for a better deal.

Had new email now prices are going up again, been on Uswitch and BillBuddy but not much savings to be made now. SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,536 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Had EDF for about 10 years, always an "acceptable" bill, they email me for a reading, they send the bill back, we pay online, no stress. 2 bedroom cottage, lights and heating on lots, gas and electric, about £2.50 a day. Happy with that, no stress Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SINDASOX I changed in the end to Eon I wish I hadn’t bothered everything has been one big f**k up I’ve sent readings they haven’t received them, they haven’t taken the direct debit and constantly send me texts telling me I’ve got to have a smart meter April 22 they will be binned off.

SINDASOX 255 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Eon are the one's that came out at the top of the list when i went on Uswitch. Their Gas and Electric Kwh prices are more than Bulb's but their standing charge is less. Bulb are sending me emails all the time about installing a smart meter as well, i just ignore them, so their sending me letters now to sign up for one.

pesky1972 4,927 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I signed up to Martin Lewis Moneysavingexpert cheap energy club. Get alerts sent when the deal I’m on expires and/or is no longer competitive. When the time comes I just make a couple of clicks and have switched to a new deal/supplier. Don’t think I’ve spoken to an Indian call centre in years. /cheapenergyclub/landing/img/cec-logo-512x82.png Cheap Energy Club - Compare Energy Deals – MSE CLUBS.MONEYSAVINGEXPERT.COM Join MoneySavingExpert’s energy comparison site, Cheap Energy Club to... Btw, I always submit readings on request via website/app. No interest in getting a smart meter installed. Edited May 23, 2021 by pesky1972 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
